Description
The DCT-0024 by Magnelab was previously sold as the MAG-J24D005. It is a split core current transducer with a 24 mm opening and transforms AC current input 0 Amp to 250 Amps to an output of 0 to 5 Vdc. Split core transformers are perfect tools for energy management. Additionally, the DCT-0024 has been made so that it can quickly and easily be installed on electrical wiring that has already been installed. The self-locking mechanism that it comes with allows the transformer to simply be snapped around the existing conductor.
The DCT-0024 is frequently used in pumps and HVAC installations, but also in fans, refrigeration and lighting. It is also sometimes found in small industrial motors. It is a highly versatile device.
This CT transformer features a 250 Amps AC rated input current and a 5 Vdc rated output voltage. For safety, the device has a 7.5 Vdc limit built in. The accuracy is similar to that of the DCT-0016-100 current sensor, which is full scale accuracy of 2% up or down, at operating frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz. Looking at rated current, the accuracy is 5% to 120%.
